Pantapalooza

February 3rd, 2005 / #observations

Unless you’ve been living under a rock as the fashion world has been spinning around these last few years, you know that girls’ pants are all the rage on male legs. These tight little excuses for clothing are apparently all the rage amongst the emo crowd, and yesterday at lunch I tried to be society’s slave. I traded pants with Taryn. I fully expect a line of parental questioning regarding this event; the “last time”:http://sociallyconsciousbird.com/wordpress/?p=29 I traded garments with Taryn, the folks wouldn’t let it go for a while.

Upon slipping into the ultra-long, ultra-tight jeans, I’ve noticed a few things about girls’ pants that were quite interesting:

# There is excess butt room. I thought I had some junk in the proverbial trunk, but compared to girl, they have got it going on. I originally disliked this feature, but as the hours wore on, the butt grew on me. I think its main selling point is the room for growth: you know, prospective butt room that all of the sistas will be jealous of whence I fill the void.
# Thanks to the constriction of the jeans, I have a newly formed schema of just how luxurious my thighs really are. I know you’re jealous. Go on, eat your heart out.
# The (obvious) shortcoming of girls’ pants on a man’s figure is the constriction of the nether regions. I found myself readjusting myself with every beat of my tiny little uncomfortable heart, much to the dismay of my female compatriots who, in their wincing at my fiddling, expressed noticeable discomfort.
# Girls have the greatest clothes ever, primarily because they are stretchy.

Overall, wearing Taryn’s pants was a worthwhile experience. I think, however, it went on just a few hours too long. This extended period of discomfort in low-riding pants scarred me for life. No, I don’t think that acquiescing to the demands of the new style of society is for me. For the time being, I’m content to wear my Wranglers.

    Casey, maybe I underestimate your womanly figure, but I would think for a guy the crotch on female jeans would be…well..constricting.

    This is a not-so-detailed account of my adolescence over the course of almost a decade. Here, I shared my thoughts about things of no real consequence while at the same time being reckless with semicolons and flowery language.

    I used this website to connect with folks before Facebook. Today, I sometimes chronicle interesting thoughts and observations I have. I don't update as much as I should.
